Q C1 The second term of the Honorable Bibb Graves, the hrst man to be elected Governor of Alabama twice since the adoption of the State Constitution in 1901, has been one of the most heated and controversial adminis- trations in the history of the State. Honorable BIBB GRAVES CVER CDR JALABA The Governor's chair in Alabama is fraught particularly with the ever-present problem of keeping the various agencies of government on a par with those of states having a very much higher per capita wealth. To do this requires a constant fight against retrogression and a continuous effort on be- half of such necessary functions of the State as Public Health, Education, Highways, and Transportation, Welfare, and the many new problems that a State must assume today. The second term of Governor Graves has been noted for prompt action and unparal- leled leadership on the part of the chief ex- ecutive of the State, and we at the Univer- sity wish him health and strength to continue his progress.

DR. GECDRGE H. DENNY, Ctancelfof After a long and distinguished career as President of the University of Ala- bama, Dr. George H. Denny can at last have his way and retire from active service. The Board of Trustees has bestowed upon him the title of Chancellor and put another man in his place as President and active administrator. Hereafter Mike,' will have nothing to do except what pleases him. Whenever anybody on the campus wants advice he will be glad to give it. But mostly he will be preoccupied with the athletic interests of the University. He is especially in- terested in football and will now be able to give all his time during the appointed season to following that game. At other times he can live in his summer home. At all times he can smoke his pipe and be at peace, knowing that the burdens of the University will rest upon younger and stouter shoulders. Mike can rest on his laurels. He has brought the University from a lowly place to a place of eminence. That is honor enough. It is all that he asks. What he does not ask is the good will of all the friends of the University everywhere, This it is not necessary for him to ask. It will be given freely. Mike goes into old age honorably and beautifully. Page Twenty-four
